Just popping in to say hello, and let you know that I will be posting
some new bracelets and Lu Lu’s on Saturday. After that it’s time for me
to get back to the torch and create some new beads. The glass color scheme
will be red, black and white beads. Those colors have been on my mind
for awhile, so maybe it’s time…
This morning I received a very nice email asking me if I wouldn’t mind
showing a picture of “Spice of Life” bracelet again. She told me my
beads are breathtakingly beautiful . Thank you Christina, you made my day.
Here’s the picture again…
Enjoy the day ~ My best to you ~ Nance

Enjoy your day, thanks for stopping over ~ Nance

“Hi”, just a little bead chatter update tonight. A couple of blogs
ago I mentioned I was working on an “Angel” line of beads, and
wasn’t having much luck with them evolving. Here is a picture of
my out come… The bead was not going in the direction I wanted,
but was compelled not to give up and some how it turned into a
crazy looking heart after about 45 minutes of playing around.
All most saying to me don’t break my heart (the beads are
getting to me).
And before I head out, here is a picture of the black and white
beads fresh out of the kiln, now its time to design.
Thanks for checking in, have a great night or what ever time
of day your reading this, see you soon ~ Nance
p.s. I have some fun LuLu's coming up soon.

OK, every thing I started to write about ends up erased and I’m
right back to where I started. Haiti and the world are on my mind…
Today I spent a long time at the torch working in black and white
glass, my back and neck are feeling it, time to stretch! My thoughts
and ideas with the beads will be bracelets, LuLu’s
and earrings, maybe a necklace… I came up with some new bead
designs that I have never done before and am looking forward
to pulling them out from the kiln tomorrow after they are fully annealed.
I’m a tired bead maker right now; see you soon and thank you for
stopping by ~ Best to you, Nance

I’ve been meaning to update sooner! Where to start?
I’ll start with Mom’s visit, which was very nice except for the last
two days of her vacation when we got a call from Crossville, TN
police informing Mom her house was robbed. They took her TV,
jewelry, safe, credit cards and social security number. We felt so
badly for Mom, shocked. The rest of Mom’s vacation was spent
canceling credit cards, and trying to figure out what to do next?
One of my new year’s resolutions was to design a new look for
my web site and figure out how to update it. After several tries and
trying to figure out the HTML coding I got it! What do you think?
There’s no stopping me now, HA!
I’ve been thinking of new bead ideas, doing a lot of experimenting
at the torch. I’ve been playing around with a new glass that I recently
purchased from Double Helix Glassworks. The glass can be pretty
amazing if fired the right way. So far I’m not completely happy with
my results and I’m getting discouraged after all the time I have spent…
it’s all part of making beads. I’m also working on an “Angle” line of
beads, still evolving with that. I'll take a picture soon to show you
my first attempt on making an Angle bead, kind of funny!
I do have some new Lu Lu’s coming to life, just need to get them
put together. Tonight, well, I think I will work in black and white
glass, that’s always a good color combo to get the creative juices
going and to accomplish something!
Even though it has been quite around here I am working behind
the scene. Trying to find my own little bead voice in this great big
round world. Enjoy your day and thanks for coming by ~ Nance
